0:22:11 > 0:22:15Hm. Oh, hello. I'm Sheila.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17I was just listening to some music.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20That's called jazz music.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24It's so gentle and smooth, it could send me to sleep.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26But I can't go to sleep

0:22:26 > 0:22:30because I need to tell you tonight's bedtime story.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32There's some music in tonight's story.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35The story is Mr Big.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37And it's by Ed Vere.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43Let me tell you a story about a friend of mine.

0:22:43 > 0:22:48He goes by the name of Big. Mr Big.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Now, Mr Big had a small problem.

0:22:51 > 0:22:57Compared to everyone else, he was extremely big.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00He was so big that anywhere he went,

0:23:00 > 0:23:04all everyone ever saw was someone big and scary.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08No-one stuck around to find out who he really was.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12So, inside, Mr Big felt very, very small.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14And that's how it always was.

0:23:16 > 0:23:21When Mr Big went to the cafe, everyone had other things to do.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25When Mr Big got on the bus, everyone else got off.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28And when he went to the pool, well,

0:23:28 > 0:23:32let's just say everyone needed to be somewhere else.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36No-one ever saw the real Mr Big.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42One day, Mr Big noticed a piano in a shop window.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45It looked all alone, just like him.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48So he bought it and took it home.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51As Mr Big sat alone at the piano,

0:23:51 > 0:23:55he thought of all the things that made him sad.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57And then he played.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01His music drifted out through the open window

0:24:01 > 0:24:03and into the evening sky.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07It drifted across the rooftops, over to his neighbours.

0:24:07 > 0:24:12And they wondered who was playing such beautiful music.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15The word spread, and night after night,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18everyone came from all over town.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22And still, no-one knew who was playing. It was a big mystery.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26But inside, Mr Big was still alone.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30And then one morning,

0:24:30 > 0:24:34Mr Big received his first ever letter.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37It was an invitation. And it said,

0:24:37 > 0:24:39"Dear Mystery Pianist.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41"Thank you for your beautiful music.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44"Everyone has been listening to you for weeks.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48"And we're all wondering one thing - who are you?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57"Please come and join our band.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59"See you later. A friend."

0:24:59 > 0:25:03That night, Mr Big joined the band.

0:25:03 > 0:25:07All night long, the joint was jumping

0:25:07 > 0:25:09and nobody wanted to leave.

0:25:09 > 0:25:14At last, everyone could see the real Mr Big.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Now the Big Band has hit the big-time

0:25:17 > 0:25:22and everyone wants to meet them, Mr Big has a new problem.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25He doesn't get much time to be alone.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28And that's just the way he likes it.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31That story was called Mr Big.

0:25:31 > 0:25:36I'm glad Mr Big found some friends to make music with, aren't you?

0:25:36 > 0:25:39It's good to have friends, isn't it?
